The Amazing Race: May 18, 2017 Episode(s) Blog Party

I'll be live bloggig the show's events as they air here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest news! The real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun!

Tonight is actually two episodes in a row. Fun, fun, fun. Keep in mind that I'm going into this tired. But I'll do my best to keep up with what's going on.

I figured it would be because they will go into the finale next week with a final four. I just would have preferred Brooke/Scott to be last. Even though the clue misread was all Tara, Joey didn't berate her.

Teams are headed to another location within Vietnam.Ninn Binh (sp?)

Becca/Floyd and Matt/Redmond made the first bus. The other three teams are all on the next bus. Bicycle to a temple and pick up a Traveling Gnome.

Roadblock - Who's feeling trapped? Carrying shrimp traps to fishermen. Oh, my. Floyd isn't doing too well on this. He's dropping traps and he fell over just before the commercial. The boys will probably finish the Roadblock first. The other three teams aren't at the Roadblock yet.

Speed Bump has Tara/Joey collecting six dozen duck eggs before they can continue on.

Meanwhile Matt finishes the Roadblock. Floyd is still struggling. Matt helps him. Floyd thought he could unload what he has and go back for the fallen. But he has to take the whole thing back to pick them up.

The next clue leads them to rowing a boat of supplies ... with their feet and gnome, too.

Oh, geez. Scott beat out Floyd on the Roadblock.

Matt and Redmond are heading to the Pit Stop. Gah! London is having trouble on the Roadblock and is calling for Floyd to help her. Don't do it, Floyd! You have to stay in this thing! He helps her, but doesn't realize he dropped a trap. He has to go back for it. Meanwhile, Joey is loaded up and going.

Joey beats London back.

Pit Stop1. Matt/Redmond - won a trip to Costa Rica

Uh-oh. Floyd is in rough shape. He may have just passed out. I fear they won't be in the final four. Sigh.

I have no issues with any of the other teams. Becca/Floyd is my favorite because they're so upbeat. But Matt and Redmond are also very positive people. My only issue with them is that I'm a bit tired of Alpha Male teams winning this show.

Dang, I just finished the first 1/2 of tonight's show and decided to peek at Jackie's blog to see what's happening... and read about Floyd and Becca. I wouldn't be surprised if they stay friends. London/Logan are my pool picks, but Joey/Tara are likable too, so I can cheer for them also.
